 "J'khand govt with Cong as alliance damaged anganwadi system: BJP leader")
A BJP member in Lok Sabha on Wednesday alleged that the Jharkhand government in which the Congress is an ally has damaged the anganwadi system due to large-scale corruption.
Nishikant Dubey said this happened even as Congress chief Sonia Gandhi has demanded that freshly-cooked meal be served to children and women.
Minutes after Gandhi urged the Centre to restart the mid-day meal scheme in schools which was discontinued during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dubey demanded that the Jharkhand government supported by Congress should be dismissed due to corruption in anganwadi system.
He alleged that while Gandhi pressed for serving freshly-cooked meal, the Jharkhand government supported by her party has destroyed the anganwadi programme due to corruption.
He also demanded a CBI probe into the allegations.
Both Gandhi and Dubey spoke during Zero Hour in Lok Sabha.
